Jon Rothstein. That's as good as it gets in MBB. Like a Woj bomb, ha.

" Duke [edit] Stewart enrolled at Duke University in June 2023 and took part in the Blue Devils' summer practices.[6] In October 2023, Stewart set the Duke record for the standing vertical leap (36 inches), a mark previously held by Zion Williamson." Five star recruit who signed with Duke. I sure hope this kid has high expectations from himself. I mean, I expect him to rise up. He's only 20, so still young. I thought Kel'el Ware didn't really deserve many, if any (I kid, I kid) minutes, and look at him now.

The tv announcer made a good point that she might have been getting away with this all season. That seems extremely likely. Her "move" is probably to get that push off after lifting her foot. Season leader in steals. The cat's out if the bag. Whoops. I was a fierce competitor in all sports back in the long ago times, and I would pull any and every trick to get away with fouls or cheats. One time I got decked behind the net in a hockey game after I dumped the puck in the corner, and I literally took the puck I saw laying in front of me and plopped it over the net into the goalie's back...and the puck went into the net for a goal. I recall a stunned defender looking at me and saying, incredulously, "you're not allowed to do that!" I got up on my skates and just said "I know, that's why I did it."

"Pitcher, pitcher, pitcher, not an underwear snitcher!"

Even though I'm closer to 50 than 40, I still refuse to not sleep in on the weekends. Thankfully I have no children. You couldn't even pay me to watch a game on TV at 10am unless the US is playing in the World Cup somewhere overseas, so 7am? Ha! I'm sorry, but the UO and Nebraska should have protested this. The final should have been moved to Monday- not many people will be working anyway. Of course, I am more than sure there were set contingencies in case of rainouts, and we simply got unlucky. That said, how many sports would you see a double header in a semi final, especially of one team had to wake up to play at 9am local time? That's insane. What a joke.

Yes, it's been very brutal. I wonder if we are trying to play the nice guy a bit too much and are allowing players to make decisions for the love of the game and our program. It's not enough- we need to pay a lot more if we keep losing out like this. Plus the defections? Just pay more. It's not my or your money.

Muhammed should have declared last year, I guess.

Dana needs to help align the Rubik's Cube schedule.

I'm bracing for a terrible tip off time that starts before noon on a Thursday. I can't watch any games that start before noon, so I missed the Indiana and Michigan State games.

Well, I highly doubt he would go to Europe instead of playing at Oregon for another year. His NIL money will be pretty good.

Is Bittle going yo get another year of eligibility due to his injuries last year? Apparently I missed the news last week that the NCAA granted Bittle another year of eligibility. Great! He's not showing up anywhere on the NBA draft boards.

The Ducks should never wear grey except in baseball- if they HAVE to! The only thing worse were the navy blue unis they wore to honor the state flag. Nice color scheme...for Cal Berkeley.

I hate to say it, but I think we need to get another transfer surefire QB again. This article said the Ducks are in a fantastic position at QB, but Moore failed big time at UCLA. How is that uplifting? I wasn't even sold on Gabriel even up to his last snap. He's no Bo Nix, and certainly no Herbert. He was too short and too left handed. I'm not even sure Quinn Ewers is someone I would want. Simply not good enough. He'll go the NFL most likely, though.

Well, they should obviously not pay these exit fees or penalties, and they should probably convince UNLV to come to the PAC considering the MWC is not going to get that penalty money to give to UNLV as a bonus.
